Congratulations to America…such a wonderful thing… he has soo much to overcome, but I know that he can. This is such a great thing for ALL races all over the world. My prayers have been answered. YES WE DID!!!! YES WE CAN!!! YES WE WILL!!!

P.S. McCain: “THAT ONE” WON!!! LOL

It goes to show that voting does count there were a lot of split states. It also shows that when it comes to issues and what really concerns people, color doesn’t matter. I remembered one of the state either Iowa or Ohio (a midwestern state), I can’t remember which one last night, they had the percentages of the population breakdown; 91% whites, 3% hispanics, 2% for blacks and Asian, and 1% other. Prez BHO won that state.

Awesome stuff!!!

YES WE DID IT!!!! BARACK OBAMA is PRESIDENT - our Ancestors will be so proud…………..

ALL PRAISES TO GOD OUR FATHER.

WOW!

OK, EVERYONE - TIME TO BE THE CHANGE!!!

YESSSSSS WEEEEE CAAANNNNNN!!!

Does anyone else feel like it is a WRAP FOR FOX NEWS?

The headline on Fox says “Facing a Steep Climb’ while the headline on CNN says “Change has Come”. I am done with Fox, and I believe we all need to boycott them. They were NEVER posittive about Obama. As soon as he won, they started “making it clear” that he did NOT win the White vote (had something like 43%). I cannot STAND THEM! Mostly because, like Barrack said, HE IS THERE PRESIDENT TOO AND WE NEED THEIR SUPPORT!

However, I will not let that ruin today. History has been made, and change has began.

LETS ALL DO OUR PART AND MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

WOOO!

OBAMA O8 BABY!!!
YES!

AMEN!

i woke up shaken.. i’m so happy.. i live in WI and people were still honkin their horns! this is so amazing.. i can’t describe the feeling. woke up crying..

GOD IS GOOD!
and i’ll be flyin to the historic inauguration 10 days after my bday to celebrate history in washington DC!

I am really glad that Obama won, and I am happy that it occurred in my lifetime (as well as my father’s and mother’s). I just hope that people realize that he has alot of work ahead of him since the last eight years has set this country back. He will be under alot of pressure and scrutiny, but I am sure that he will be able to turn it around. Obama has alot of work cut out for him, and I hope that people give him the patience and room that he needs to succeed.

“WE MADE IT” ! ! ! HELL YES WE CAN ! !

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so surreal! For once we ALL (well majority) came together. This has made history on some many levels…..

1) For once, black people came together in RECORD numbers to accomplish one goal. Usually we have so much division among our own race that we can’t get anything done.

2) Obama is the first black president.

3) Whites, and other races banded together with us.

4) Other countries are just as proud and excited about this change!

Don’t think for once second this was not a collective effort; I love how Obama gives us all credit for this moment in history. It just shows what we could have done all along.

All day i’ve been noticing black men with more pep in their step….i think the fact that Obama is the first black male president will raise the confidence and self esteem of so many black men….hopefully he will be the standard of which our young males (and old ones for that matter, and ones with families) aspire to be instead of only rappers and athletes (and womanizers). And we all know when black men feel better about themselves, then they will treat their women better, and have more respect for us.

Gotta go know, i have to bask in this for a moment.

#79 -

Yes they need to STOP at FAUX News.. That’s why I was watching ABC. AND THEY reported that 60% of people that voted for HIM were white. and let’s not forget the Latino vote.

When we are seeking facts we never consult FAUX news. Anyway, I’m still so happy.. Even reading these responses makes me cry.

This is truly historic. I am proud to be a part oft his moment! YES WE CAN and YES WE DID!!!

This is a victory long time in the makin. Lets all start uplifting each other from this day forward. We are so much better than what other perceive us to be.

I’m so HAPPY!!!!…It’s all so surreal!!!

I agree that this was so much more than race people are ready for change. This country has been in a horrible state in the last eight years. McCain just didn’t have the plan to uplift america, just the rich.

@J.Darkar I saw on the news that the attendance for Chicago grant park was 240,000 his largest attendence ever!!!!! (Probably the largest for any President).

We weren’t considered citizens and couldn’t vote…..

We weren’t good enough to drink THEIR water……..

We weren’t good enough to use THEIR restroom…..

We couldn’t attend THEIR schools…….

We couldn’t sit in the front of the bus or the restaurant…..

Look how far we have come!!

Also it moving to see the world rejoice with us on this historic event; Asia, Africa,Russia and etc. He has already impacted the world in a beautiful way….

We all have lived to see this day , my father did not , this is a day of celebration .

Obama the 1st Black President. God Bless America!! It was tears of joy cause change has come. We did it.

I was nervous and excited all day. It is amazing. Let us now support him it’s not going to be easy and change will not come over night. When things don’t go your way right away remember things take time it’s a long road. Remember last night and stand behind him…

OBAMA MORNING !

Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you !

To God be ALL the Glory and ALL the Honor!!!!!!!!!!! The American ambassador to South Africa is hosting a party tonight and my gals and I are attending! Yes we need to be at work tomorrow morning, but we couldn’t give a DAMN! God has spoken and the heavens have opened! History has been made today and we will rejoice! Africa is celebrating with you America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love seeing the other cities around the world celebrating our victory.
YES WE CAN and YES WE DID

Congrats Obama!!! OBAMA made history in all types of ways he took over states that had been Republican for 44yrs, the First African American President and family will grace the White House. This is now truly the UNITED States….. This is big for all nations and all people of all ethinicities. This is what change is all about!

Change… verb; to change ones’ opinion and/or intentions……

OMG-I saw this last night and I just burst into tears and cried like a baby, it was the best feeling in the world. Now I feel like something’s finally going right, now I can see hope for all of the middle class families that have had to struggle just to put food on the table and do without just to survive.

I was born and raised here in AZ and after watching J Mcain’s concession speech I have to say that I could sympathize with him and his family, because he was really gracious and kind and the fact that he touched on the all the wrongs done to black ppl really touched me. But man I’m so HAPPY that the Obama’s are going to the white house!!

Love Yall-xoxo Thicky

WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RE-DO THEM HISTORY BOOKS!!!!!!

Just getting in from last night/this morning festivities, Congrats President Obama!
Something in my soul just feels right, can’t describe it.
We all celebrated together in NY, young/old, celeb/non-celeb, I did not see one person who was trying to shine because of who they are, we all just came together and cheered, cried, and thanked GOD!!!
Happy Birthday, Likem dark and slim!

!!!!!!! - thats how i feel

To all the small-minded people who said he couldn’t win, your negativity is only your own now. Obama is truly an inspiration. Let’s get started on trying to clean up all the mess.

LOL @ 114! Girl, me too!

Thanks to all that supported Mr. Obama. A new day is here now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank U JESUS

Congrats to President-Elect Obama (its official baby) and everyone who worked hard for his campaign. Most of all congrats to the ppl who voted (338-156) for change resoundingly so their voices would be heard. A new era has dawned…lets live history…OBAMA 08!!!!

All I have to say: “Its Been A Long Time, A Long Time Coming But I Know A Change Is Gonna Come!” And It Surely has.

Great to see that everyone came together and let their voices be heard. Of course there are going to be some haters in the midst , but not even they can take away what this moment means to each and everyone of us. This is a moment that I can’t wait to ready about in the History books.

God Bless

Obama 08″

I’m SO SO happy!
My daughter will be brought up in a time of history & change. YES!
This should prove to everyone, we should look past color…because AMERICA looked past color. I LOVED seeing the diversity at the Obama Headquarters.

YES WE CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN….CHANGE THE WOOOOORLD!

Obamaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I still have chills from last night, couldn’t stop smiling for nothing in this world!

What’s so amazing is that Obama has universal support from all kinds of ppl, including here, ppl were rocking Obama buttons and stuff, lol….

The Obama family will look so good in the White House

What a wonderful Day! Obama ‘08!

History in the making.

I had to slap myself to make sure i wasn’t dreaming when the man announced last night after California closed the polls with 55 Electorial Votes that brought Obama over 270 and is now the president. I almost cried. I am so happy to live and see this day finally has come. I am proud of our people and Obama. God Bless.

THANK YOU JESUS AND ALL BARACK SUPPORTERS!!! WE NOW HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is what it is all about am british but i am so proud of him he is a great man with a great future ahead of him God bless him and his family. This is history people let us cherish this moment

THANK YOU ALL FOR VOTING! WE AS A PEOPLE HAS COME TOGETHER!
AND NOW YOU SEE THE RESULTS, OBAMA IS THE MAN!

The BEST day in AMERICA. I just wish everyone that passed away was here to celebrate with us. God Bless America!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Mr. President! It’s because of you that so many of us will not only be looked at in a higher esteem but will have so many more opportunities.

Again, congratulations and I wish you the best of luck as you mend the country back together!!!!

I can’t stop crying!!!! My parents are from Africa so they passed down a traditional name to me. I was teased in school to no end because of it. And being a dark skinned woman growing up in the south didn’t help the matter. But I look at Obama…a man with this funny name…a man with an African father and a white mother….a man who married a smart and gorgeous black woman….A man who seeks to change the world…and I get goose bumps because he overcame the ultimate plight to get where he is. When everyone else thought no…he said yes. He never doubted his chances and he never doubted people would embrace him regardless of the color of his skin, etc.

NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAD TO GO THROUGH 8 YEARS OF TORTURE. IT IS SO THIS MOMENT WOULD BE POSSIBLE! GOD IS GOOD!

obama!!!! obama!!!! obama!!!! my man. now make us proud

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! I am 16-years-old and have never been proud to be an American … UNTIL YESTERDAY!!!!! The future looks bright for my generation and the next!!!!!

Change has come!!! I’m so excited! God bless President Elect Barack Obama and this country!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES WE DID! YES WE DID! I am so excited, happy, overwhelmed…oh man, I can’t even write it all down. I am so proud of what we did as a country over these past months. We are ready for a change, it’s time. I know that Obama won’t be able to fix everything overnight, but he will lay the foundation to lead us to better and stronger times. I am so encouraged to see this Black man overcome all the naysayers to accomplish his goal. I am so happy to see a Black family in the White House. It warms my heart to see the love between Barack and Michelle, and the love that they have for their children. This is a great time, and this encourages me to never give up on my dreams and my goals. YES WE DID!

Thank you Lord!!!! All the way from Montreal, Canada, black people are celebrating his victory!!! We may not be american but we are very proud to witness this historic moment. I was in tears last night and i am beaming with proud right now.

GOD bless President Obama!!!

YES WE DID!

This is a great day, broke the chain of slavery! I am so happy! Love to all from the UK.xxx

I’m so proud, excited, overjoyed, and many other emotions that are swirling around inside me. History has been made and I’m apart of it to live it, feel it, and see it with my own two eyes. Barack truly did overcome. He won states that are traditional red states, such as my home state Indiana. It looked as though it would stay red, but finally at 2:30 this morning all his campaigning paid off cause now we are a blue state! Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginina, and possibly North Carolina are all true blue. He took this seriously and was very calculated and methodical in what he did actually thinking about the people. McCain on the other hand took the GOP for granted and selected Palin as his running mate and that was his demise. Not to mention that he had his ugly face on in the end because he didn’t have a leg to stand on because Barack represents all the average people of this country whether black, white, purple, or brown. It’s not about me, my, and mine, but us, and ours. This is just the begining. Our children can be anything they want to be. Thanks Barack! May you and your family and everyone around you be coverd by God.

I was partying like a BARACK STAR last night!

GOD IS SOOOOO GOOD!

YES!!! OBAMA WE DID DO IT… HERE MY BOSS SAY OHH I DON’T LIKE MICHELLE I SAID TOO HER Y SHE COULD NOT GIVE ME A LOGICAL EXPLANATION SHE JUS FROWNED HER FACE. I’M JUST DISGUSTED..

WE ALL BLEED RED… NICE JOB WELL DONE THIS JUST SHOW US THAT WE CAN DO IT WE ALL NEED TOO STICK TOGETHER>>

YES WE DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHANGE HAS COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VA STAND UP!!!!!!!!!!!

WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m still antsy with excitement, but what’s more important is the fact that Obama will be a President for ALL people, a President for ONE America, not a blue, red, black, white, gay, straight, Christian, Muslim, but ONE NATION!!!! It’s weird…I can’t stop crying tears of joy!

YES WE DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama PRESiDENT; I’m S0 Happy 4u & 4 us in France bcoz what happens in America concerns us & touches the whole world.

forty years ago, black men had dogs set on them…couldn’t even vote, and now, today- a black man is the President of the US - the leader of the free world!!! We have no excuse, no more ‘it’s the white man who keeps me down, it’s a conspiracy’ HELL NO!
Black men you can do anything, WE can do anything.
I tear up for those from the civil right generations - look at what they did for us, did they ever think we’d get this far?? The sight of Jesse Jackson crying, who was at MLK’s side when he got assasinated got me bawling!
This is amazing, i’m a 21 year black girl from london and damnit, YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!

Shabach Hallelujah!
Barack, Praise the Lord !!!

SHABACH

Definition: Shabach means, “to address in a loud tone, to commend, to triumph, to exclaim, glory, shout.”

BARAK

Definition: Barak means, “to kneel down, to bless God as an act of adoration.” When used in the scripture it implies, “expecting to receive a blessing from the Lord.”

I wish my dad was alive to see this. My neighbor already took down his mccain sign;-)

Where can I get a “Yes We Did” button,sticker any damn thing?

YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN! LOL ;~)

This election was absolutely life changing and it was about so much more than race. I have never been prouder. I just pray that we can truly all accept that Obama was called to lead us and that this nation starts to view each other for who they are not what they look like.
OBAMA 4 LIFE!
